Allana was born July 8, 1961 in Susanville, California. She graduated from East High School in Anchorage. In 1973 she moved to Alaska with her family from Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. Allana lived in Anchorage from 1973 to 1985, Wasilla from 1985 to 1988, Anchorage from 1988 to 2000, Seward from 2000 to 2002 and Sterling from 2002 to the present. She had various jobs in the service industry. In 1993 she learned to be a bookkeeper and secretary. She was still currently working at the time of her passing. She loved any kind of fishing, horticulture, rescue animals, cooking and canning.

The family wrote, “Allana was a loving, caring person who would go far out of her way to help or care for someone. She also would have taken in every rescue animal on the Peninsula if she could have. She was a huge asset to the landscaping business, she and her husband Brian owned. There are no words to express the sorrow. Her family from Wisconsin wrote; Allana always was the first to try and help any family member. She had always loved the outdoors and the adventure Alaska offered. She enjoyed the years of landscaping and snow removal with her husband Brian. She would come to Wisconsin when she could. She sent us fish and we would send her and Brian cheese curds. Martha and Allana would talk for hours on the phone about any and all problems of the world. She was deeply loved and will be missed by all of us here.”
